As I have explained above, there was no agreement for any services to be rendered. It is a lie that any of the screenshots show an agreement of receiving this grant as payment for the servIce. They approached me, asked about us integrating their protocol, I said we would along with other protocols following our own roadmap and not at that time. They insisted on giving the grant “with no strings attached”. More so, I just took that grant and deposited into their own vault and left it there. So it is ridiculous to say that there was intention to profit from it, more so when during that period the price of that token grant was in free fall. I honestly did not care to use these funds, and they would not have, then or now, made any material difference to our team’s runway.
More than 6 months later, after they had already accused me of “frontrunning” and “stealing” an article I researched and wrote alone, they airdrop me (and all vault depositors) a new token which I immediately dumped. At no moment did they indicate they wanted any of these tokens they airdropped themselves back, or that they were payment for anything.
It should be evident to anyone who does a background check on the gamma team the dishonest way in which they operate. They have already received a grant approval for over a million dollars, in no part of that proposal do they explain that they are a team that rebranded after three consecutive “hacks” under circumstances that are only explained by extreme negligence or worse.

In none of these incidents do they ever take responsibility, and instead end up with a rebrand and proceed to pivot to ask for money from DAOS without disclosing their very relevant and problematic history.
Here they have used an obvious sockpuppet, and their own accounts (which btw nothing wrong with being anonymous, but while they use names like “Brian”, they seem to be anons with no seeming background, and twitter accounts created in 2021), to falsely accuse and malign me.
